Soon to be picked up and brought home. Lots of
documentation with it as
well. Christmas came early, eager to get it home and set up.
What a beauty! In amazing condition.
Modcomp have a place in my heart, as an earlier Modcomp was the front-end communications
processor for Tektronix' Control Data Cyber 73. I was a systems manager (as it was
called then) on the Cyber. The Modcomp was rock solid reliable. I don't ever recall
having any kind of problem with the Modcomp. It just ran and ran. When the Cyber was to
be shut down, all you had to do was halt the Modcomp, then when the Cyber was to be
brought back up, two switch presses on the Modcomp (can't remember the first key,
perhaps something like INIT), then START, and it was ready to go for when the Cyber came
up.
